Why does my Sun Yeh Electrical OM actuator work, but the motor is hot?
- GGary RossSep 3, 2025
If the actuator operates but the motor is hot, several factors could be the cause. The mechanical stop screws might be interfering with the output drive gearing; in this case, reset the mechanical end stops and travel cams. A torque overload caused by the valve, often occurring after the valve has been operating for some time, may also be the issue; consider replacing the valve. Ensure you're using the correct power supply. Also, the actuator may be operating too frequently, exceeding its duty cycle rating; adjust the system bandwidth or reduce the frequency.
